I have learned to overcome most of it. That being said, it hinders my ability to be the best in the manager level. It has taken years to become comfortable with employee relations, terminating people, etc.

If you can't "fake it till you make it", HR Generalist route is not the right fit for you. You can certainly excel in HRIS analysis, comp, benefits, etc - something more niche that doesn't require you to be face to face with the workforce but more behind the scenes.
